Know what your rent includes

A little clarity on rent, deposits, bills and the written details to check before making a commitment.

Look beyond the headline rent

Compare the room and sharing arrangement alongside food, utilities, internet, housekeeping and transport. Ask which charges are fixed and which depend on usage.

Ask about the deposit

Confirm the amount, who receives it, the documented refund conditions and the move-out process. Keep your own receipts and written agreement.

Take your time

Kiimbu coordinates enquiries and visits. This preview does not process online rent payments or guarantee a provider's refund. The actual tenancy document must identify the responsible parties and precise conditions.

Read the temporary agreement directory and ask support if something is unclear.
